In a Zombie Apocalypse, There are Worst Things to Fear

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2013)

I was never a zombie or horror film fan when this movie came out, but then I got hooked on "The Walking Dead". If I would have seen this film before TWD, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more and found it scarier than I did. A lot of quiet roaming around and very few zombies actually appear in the film (though I guess technically they're not zombies, just Rage-infected humans). Much like we learned in season 2 of TWD, other survivors became the worst threat in a post-apocalyptic world (again, would've been more intrigued by that twist had I not already seen TWD). Cinematically, the overall look of the film appears older than it is, maybe because I'm spoiled on hi-def nowadays. Interesting bonus feature: every alternate ending has Jim dying from the post-climactic gunshot wound - only in the true theatrical release does he survive. And then he becomes the Scarecrow in "Batman Begins". Who saw THAT coming?
